eiconctrl(8)
NAME
eiconctrl - configure Eicon active ISDN card
SYNOPSIS
eiconctrl [-d Driver-Id] action options ...
DESCRIPTION
eiconctrl is used to setup the Eicon ISDN device driver and for downloading the firmware into the ISDN card. The use of eiconctrl makes sense, if you are using an active Eicon ISDN card only.
OPTIONS
-d Driver-Id
selects the S0/S2M interface named by Driver-Id. Driver-Ids are
defined during driver initialisation. See README.eicon for a
description of the syntax to be used for modularised and
monolithic driver versions. This option must be used to
identify the S0/S2M interface if more than one S0/S2M interface
is existent. If a single card is used, it may be omitted. If
using more than one ISA-Bus-type card, support for the other
cards is enabled with the add action of eiconctrl. PCI-Bus-type
cards will be automatically added during driver initialisation.
Ids may not start with digits or small x, because these values
are misinterpreted as numeric parameters by insmod. For loading
the module, always the newest modutils package should be used to
avoid problems during load.
The following actions may be given to eiconctrl.
irq [interrupt]
sets the irq number to use (only ISA). If the interrupt value
is omitted, the current setting will be printed.
load protocol [options]
Downloads the protocol- and dsp-code into the card and starts
operation.
protocol
etsi Euro-ISDN E-DSS1 (default)
1tr6 German ISDN Protocol
.... other protocols are also possible
options
For options see eiconctrl without any parameters for ISA cards
and eiconctrl divaload -h for PCI cards.
manage [read|exec <path>]
Starts Management-Interface.
xlog [cont|<filename>]
Retrieving XLOG entries of adapter. With option cont given, it
will be on a continuous cycle. Using a driver release 1.77 or
newer you can specify a trace-file for the xlog interpreter.
isdnlog [on|off]
Switch trace-information for isdnlog on/off.
CARD SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS
COMMON to all BRI-ISA
When using BRI-PtP set -S1 -n -t0 options. Some (very rare)
switches require the -S2 here.The offset, set by the on-boards
jumpers needs an additional '0' (f.e. Cards jumper setup is
0xd800 - means a membase of 0xd8000 ).
S SX SXn SCOM
when loading the card's module by insmod / modprobe, you need to
specify Membase, IRQ and ID. Only the SCOM is also MCA-
supported.
S2M When using PRI-PtP set -n -S2
QUADRO Loading this card as usual will automatically find and autoload
the remaining three cards. Don't forget to set the Membase, IRQ
and ID string using insmod or modprobe. Remember to "eiconctrl
load <card_n>" for all "four" cards manually with the desired
protocol. When setting the ID's last letter to an "a", the
remaining ID's will be continued with "b, c, d" ; Otherwise the
ID-string will add a "_2 _3 _4" to the cards device-description.
COMMON to all BRI/PRI PCI
All cards are auto detected and autoloaded w/o any parameters at
insmod/modprobe. Using more than one card in a system will
require the eiconctrl "-d" option to load the further cards.
(f.e eiconctrl -d eicon2) You can also use the -all option to
get all boards loaded at one time (divaload only). The ETSI
protocol is default and is not needed to be set as parm.
Otherwise add the desired protocol to specify. The protocolcodes
are normally located at /usr/lib/isdn/eicon.
4BRI Loading this card will set the protocol to all "4 cards" same
style. You cannot load different codes. This is not a bug! The
ID's are set while loading - automatically.
PRI When using PRI-PtP set -n -S2
Use option -x to set NT mode.
EXAMPLE
eiconctrl load etsi
loads and starts S0 type adapter with protocol E-DSS1.
eiconctrl load etsi -t1 -s1 -n
loads and starts S0 type adapter with protocol E-DSS1 PtP.
eiconctrl load etsi -s2 -n
loads and starts S2M type adapter with protocol E-DSS1.
